The MVO verifies passengers against manifest and completes all required paperwork including trip tickets and fuel dispensing records. The MVO adheres to all state, local, and installation traffic laws and ordinances, maneuvers vehicles in and out of constricted areas including narrow city streets and congested parking lots, and performs routine preventative maintenance checks on assigned vehicles. The MVO maintains a professional appearance and courteous demeanor at all times, reports all incidents and accidents promptly, and supports executive transportation needs during and outside of standard business hours.

The MVO must be able to interpret instructions and specifications for mobile equipment operations and complete all required trip documentation accurately. The MVO must also be capable of performing first-echelon maintenance tasks such as changing tires and making limited emergency repairs, including installing an emergency fan belt or replacing an electrical fuse on open highways.
• The MVO must be in good physical condition when performing driving and related services, particularly during extended periods of time and distance. This position requires light physical effort to operate hand and foot controls, moderate physical effort including the frequent handling of objects in excess of 50 pounds, and considerable physical effort for vehicle maintenance tasks as needed.
• All personnel must obtain and maintain a Public Trust (Level 3) security clearance.
